Grub Error Out Of Disk Ubuntu 10.04

On my machine it sometimes boots up to the grub rescue console after a cold boot, (with "out of disk" message) but always succeeds with a restart (warm boot). If it is a size limitation with the megaraid bios, using a /boot partition near the start of the disk will fix it. –psusi Mar 14 '13 at 18:49 asked 3 years ago viewed 8752 times active 3 years ago Related 0Grub can't see my disks after fresh install of 12.042Ubuntu 12.04 installation on GPT + RAID going into grub The simple story is that grub (or grub2) cannot properly understand the layout of the data on the disk. get redirected here

(I tried to install Ubuntu 10.4 on After having tried all possible and impossible fixes, I did some serious trouble-shooting and discovered that another CF-card that I had installed Puppy Linux on did boot. See this post for how to remove that line from the Grub menu during boot, and for how to remove it from the configuration file generation script (/etc/grub.d/10_linux). It will boot, however if you push the "restart" button.

This is not an SCSI drive. What is the first movie to show this hard work message at the very end? I really think this is an extreme high priority bug. An ls showed the correct partitions including (Hd0,5) which was where / was installed but ls (hd0,5)/boot gave the "outof disk" message.

Since the boot configuration isn't there, GRUB drops you to the grub-rescue prompt. Unfortunately, the error is not well documented in the official grub2 places.

Now run sudo update-grub The last command will regenerate /boot/grub/grub.cfg and your system should boot normally.

I know it can't possibly mean I'm out of disk space; I had plenty left. Roger Hunwicks (roger-tonic-solutions) wrote on 2012-06-18: #45 I have this problem with an old machine where the BIOS does not recognize the full size of the hard disk. But my HDD was used in a GB MB previously and despite I already deleted all the partitions and formated the unit seems to be that the problem was still there.

I recently updated my bios so that it would recognize the 1TB disk correctly, as per this post http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.grub.bugs/8433 The bios now does recognize the 1TB disk correctly but the PC

Still "out of disk" after the install.

A little GRUB2 specific info: I get the out of disk error when I try a few commands from the grub rescue> prompt the error leaves me at: grub rescue> insmod This should be the top hit on google. I used xorg.conf from the SuSE 10.3 install to get 1280x1024 display. this page I used the same CD to install Ubuntu 10.04 on another machine and all went well, so I am guessing it really is hardware specific, maybe caused by the boot sector
